Trump urges Congress to regulate NCAA's NIL guidelines amid concerns

Summary

President Donald Trump called on Congress to pass a law aimed at establishing regulations for the NCAA's name, image, and likeness (NIL) policies. He expressed fears that without intervention, college sports could face significant challenges. The Protect College Sports Act, introduced by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, seeks to restrict athlete transfers, set a five-year eligibility cap, and prevent former professional athletes from rejoining college sports.
